Many renowned experts and analysts gave their opinion on how Yugoslavia will look like in 2000. They anticipated organ transplantation, the new way of telecommunications, new medical techniques, but have not predicted the disintegration of Yugoslavia.
“The vision of life that is waiting us in 3 decades, which two-thirds of today’s citizens of Yugoslavia will see, is not only interesting as a set of attractive assumptions and data on the living standards that we can only dream about today, but also as an extremely serious warning that every segment of life requires long-term planning without which there are possibilities for many fateful failures,” according to the text posted to the blog Yugopapir.
According to the economist Milos Sindjic, Yugoslavia was supposed to achieve 2,520 USD per citizen in 2000, which would rank it in the group of highly industrialized countries.
“In this case, we would reach the level of standards that Sweden had in 1965, which is one of the richest countries in the world. In 30 years, Yugoslavia will have 10 million citizens more than today – around 30 million,” as stated in the text.
Experts claimed in 1969 that the world will change and they made some predictions.
They predicted new way of communicating, or entirely new telecommunications, and they announced new types of materials resistant to high temperatures in 2000.
Also, it was emphasized that people in 2000 will use chemical and biological control of character and intellectual process. Also, they predicted artificial intelligence and artificial production of organs.
In 2000, according to the text, people will be borne by using cheaper, more convenient and safer new medical techniques. By the end of this century, we will be able to choose sex of our children, and thanks to the different types of genetic control will be able to affect the basic constitution of individuals and, if we want to, change the gender of adults as well.
“Automatic shops of department stores will supply us with synthetic food and drinks full of proteins, enzymes and vitamins,” as stated in the text.
Among the 10, as futurists call it, distant possibilities, was that human life will be extended not only to 150 years, but to immortality!
